CAPO 2 
 
INTRO:  
 
G   C   G   C 
 

VERSE 1: 
       D 
Well I used to make the fire 
        C              G 
Now I'm running out of flame 
    Em                      C 
The closer I get the more it rains 
      G            D/F# 
And I won't change everything  
   C 
To have you back again 
      G          D              C 
But I can't keep everything the same. 
 
VERSE 2: 
     D 
They say it wont get harder  
        C         G 
And I'm gonna be ok 
        Em                             C 
But its just like me to go against the grain 
              G            D/F# 
And while I'm tied to your shoe string 
        C 
And I'm breaking from the strain  
      G           D            C 
Those damn things hold on like chains 
            G           D            C 
Yeah, those damn things hold on like chains 
G                  C 
Was I ever really, more than ordinary 
G                    C 
Did you ever see me, like I saw you. 
G                  C 
Was I ever really, more than ordinary 
G                     C               G   C 
Did you ever need me, like I need you nowww 
           G   C 
I need you nowww  
 
VERSE 3: 
D                   C               G 
If I was a liar I'd have a few more friends 
    Em                               C    D - C  
The chances are my heart would never mend 
         G         D/F#                    C 
And even though my conscience would come running back again  
G              D          C 
Does'nt really hurt to pretend, 
       G              D       C 
No, it does'nt really hurt to pretend. 
 
CHORUS: 
G                  C 
Was I ever really, more than ordinary 
G                    C 
Did you ever see me, like I saw you. 
G                  C 
Was I ever really, more than ordinary 
G                     C               G   C 
Did you ever need me, like I need you nowww 
           G   C 5xs then lead plays D  C   G  - fade  
I need you nowww
